merry freakin' christmas everyone

we took these totally spontaneous and random pictures tonight after dinner with nate's laptop. it had different built in frames. we are so festive!

normal family conversation

setting: kitchen counter, kids doing homework....

jared: i don't think satan is getting anything for christmas.

the utes

anyone who knows the harwood family, know that nathan is a true blue cougar football fan. he has taught the boys that blue means byu and red means utah.

the other night, i had the boys on the lds church's friend website (which by the way is really cool - online coloring, videos, music, etc).

anyway, isaac and jared were coloring a picture of jesus online. in order to make it look right, jared took one of our jesus pictures off the wall so they could be sure the colors were all correct.

a few minutes later, jared says to me "i think jesus likes utah because he is wearing red."

you're a mean one, mr grinch

the three words that best describe you,are, and i quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

why yes, that is a picture of me and my attitude this year.

it is not that i don't want to celebrate christmas (i have all of my shopping done), i just don't want to decorate my house. anyone who knows me, knows that i like to have things a certain way and putting out a whole bunch of decorations just messes me up. it is bad. for at least the past 5 years, my christmas afternoon is spent taking down all the decorations. if you were to show up at my house the day after christmas, you wouldn't even have known that we celebrated.

i told nathan that if he wanted decorations out, he would have to put them up.

i know, i know..... you nauseate me, mr. grinch. with a nauseaus super-naus. you're a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked horse. mr. grinch. you're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce.
